Internet protocol version 4 support for proxy mobile internet protocol version 6 route optimization protocol

USPTO Application #: 20090122750
Title: Internet protocol version 4 support for proxy mobile internet protocol version 6 route optimization protocol
Abstract: A network component comprising at least one processor configured to implement a method comprising promoting an optimization of a communications route associated with a mobile node (MN) and a correspondent node (CN) using Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) packets is disclosed. Also disclosed is a network comprising a mobility access gateway (MAG) in communication with a MN, and a CN in communication with the MAG and that desires to communicate with the MN, wherein a communications route between the MN and the CN is optimized using IPv4 signaling. Included is a method comprising promoting an optimization of a communications route between a MN and a CN using IPv4 signaling. Standalone CNs and CNs under a MAG embodiments are supported.

BACKGROUND

In modern wireless access networks, mobile nodes (MNs) allow users to freely move between access points without the user having to configure the MN for each access point. Specifically, when the MN reaches the coverage limit of one access point, the access point hands over the MN to an adjacent access point, typically without any disruption to the MN\'s service. In Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) networks, a process called proxy mobile IPv6 defines a relatively orderly and efficient network-based method for handing off the MN between adjacent access points. Specifically, proxy mobile IPv6 allows a mobility access gateway (MAG) and a local mobility anchor (LMA) track the movements of the MN and initiate the required mobility signaling on behalf of MN. In addition, the MN always uses the same IPv6 home address before and handover, and does the MN does not participate in the handover or any other mobility signaling. Proxy mobile IPv6 also defines a route optimization procedure. Unfortunately, proxy mobile IPv6 do not support Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), and thus cannot be implemented using IPv4 signaling.

SUMMARY

In a first embodiment, the disclosure includes a network component comprising at least one processor configured to implement a method comprising promoting a optimization of a communications route associated with a MN and a correspondent node (CN) using IPv4 packets.

In a second embodiment, the disclosure includes a network comprising a mobility access gateway (MAG) in communication with a MN, and a CN in communication with the MAG and that desires to communicate with the MN, wherein a communications route between the MN and the CN is optimized using IPv4 signaling.

In a third embodiment, the disclosure includes a method comprising promoting an optimization of a communications route between a MN and a CN using IPv4 signaling.

These and other features will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and claims.
